NY Post - It’s the only thing harder to get rid of than Mark Sanchez — a Jets personal seat license. Fed-up season-ticket holders are desperately trying to unload their PSLs, setting up a potential mass exodus of Jets fans that could become an even bigger challenge for the team than finding a new general manager. The selling of PSLs — pricey licenses for the right to buy season tickets — were used by both the Jets and Giants to help fund construction of the $1.6 billion, 82,500-seat MetLife Stadium they share that opened in 2010. But while Giants fans’ PSLs have gone up in value — their team did just win a Super Bowl last season — Jets fans have seen their investments fall shorter than a Sanchez pass… An owner of four “Coaches Club” PSLs behind the Jets bench paid $30,000 for each seat but is now trying to unload them for $12,000 a pop. Another holder of two nearby seats who paid $60,000 combined is offering his for a total of $20,000.“I’d rather take a hit now on the PSLs than continue paying $14,000 year after year for tickets I can get much cheaper through scalpers,” said a Manhattan banker, who’s trying to dump two “Coaches Club” PSLs for half the price of the $50,000 he paid. The Jets charge an average of $117.94 per ticket for non-premium seats, tops in the NFL

And to tell a story: This weekend I met all the out of town Stool writers for the first time. And KFC and I had a heart-to-heart. Like enemy soldiers in WWI coming out of the trenches to have a cigarette on Christmas, we discovered our common humanity. And honestly, it has finally reached the point where I feel bad not just for my Stool colleague but for all Jets fans. I’ve always considered them silly buffoons worthy of our ridicule, like the Fredo Corleones of football. I’m smaaaht! Not like everybody says! Dumb! I’m smaht and I want respect! The way they go through life always believing they’re one savior away from greatness but that guy always turns out to be just another fraud just gets me. But there reaches a point where even I have to ease off on these poor people. I mean, how much worse can things get? It’s bad enough they get humiliated every week but now rooting for this franchise is making them go broke too? In a bad economy these unfortunate bastards are losing thousands and they’re only sin was choosing the wrong team to fall in love with? It’s the ultimate there-but-for-the-grace-of-God-go-I scenario. Because we were walking in those exact same moccasins for most of my life. It’s easy to forget now but for 30 years the Pats were owned by one bumbling incompetent after another. Amateur, in-over-their-heads morons who treated us like garbage , squeezed every nickel they could out of us and almost never fielded a decent team. It’s only through divine intervention that Mr. Kraft came along with the vision spend his family fortune buying the worst stadium and the worst franchise in all of sports and spin them into gold. Then he passed up the sweetest deal in the world – a brand new ballpark built by the taxpayers of Connecticut and a $1 lease- to build a state of the art stadium without PSLs. And believe me, not for a second have I ever stopped appreciating how lucky we are. As Patton said “I’m a man of many faults, but ingratitude isn’t one of them.”

And just to add insult to injury, the Jets posted a phony, insincere “Thank You” to the people they’ve brought financial ruin to. And as you can imagine, it didn’t go over well:

Well done, Jets fans. And KFC. I’m making a late resolution that in 2013, I’m laying off you all. Your team is another matter altogether. @JerryThornton1

that guy..clearly you cant read..he didnt say he was going to let up on talking trash about the Jets, just stop ragging on the FANS..god, if only your mom swallowed

Fucking KFC, Jerry you better be kidding that you will not be kicking the Jets while they are down! Just what exactly do you think the Jets would be saying right now if the seasons were reversed (god forbid), Rex Ryan would be giving Belichick a slow verbal foot fucking and you know it.

Generally speaking, when one pays $30,000 to watch a man ram his head directly up another man’s asshole – we usually don’t consider this a wise financial decision.

dont get soft Jerry, in 20 years when the Jets win their next SB (aka a loss in the AFCCG) they’ll turn back into the same insufferable assholes they were a few years back. shame on these idiots for thinking $60k for Jets seats was ever not the worst idea in the history of money

This team is clueless. Keep pretending like Mark Sanchez is a real QB. Keep making excuses. I encourage this, since I hate the Jets, hate Rex Ryan. Keep on sucking peckerheads!

pricey licenses for the right to buy season tickets — the nerve of any sports team to do this… Fuck them. Fuck the Jets. I would demand a refund if I was a Jets fan.

The old guy in the picture is more angry about a Mexican being the starting QB than anything else.
